Just because I stop bench pressing APPLIANCES doesn't mean I stop bench pressing - IF you know what I mean.

Refer to exhibit 'A', the 'Shower Scene'

Oh yeah...well just make sure that when you are bench pressing 'Exchibit A', that you don't break the handle!!!

Ruthie! i encourage you to check out braces! i got those Invisaligns at age 40 something! I got a loan and only paid about 80 bucks a month for 1.5 years. Braces do help us not have to go to dentures!

I realize this economic time is not conducive to speculate much, but my message is...it's not too late!

You and your DH are super hawt!!!!!Cute peeps!

I can confirm Braces to dot help you not over eat. I have had them on for almost two years not, and the only time I couldnt really eat because of them was the first week. Sorry for the bad news, I wish they did prevent overeating, because after two years I would be a skinny minny.

Do I think that braces will help prevent overeating? I'm a firm believer in where there is a will, there is a way. Years ago, Ann Margret fell off of the stage in Las Vegas and broke her jaw...they wired it shut. She was losing weight like crayzee until she found out that she could puree' her food in a blender and drink it through a straw! See what I'm sayin'? I personally would be the straw girl, too. Oh maaaan!!!

Well today i walked this morning, it was so nice outside and breezy, it just felt really good. I also did really good today on my diet, ate all my protein and ate my veggies. I slipped alittle while ago and ate a small bowl of ice cream, and I'm not even big on icecream so why did i even eat it? But my biggest accomplishment that i made today even though the day isn't over with yet I haven't had a drink of soda's, i have my water. I feel really proud of myself for that, i have dinner cooking right now and then i'm off for another walk. :)

Two walks in one day. Here's what I say. Get the ice cream outta the house, but if it MUST be there, start buying low fat and no sugar ice cream. At least it won't hurt so much if it bites you again!

Getting off the soda, to me, was just as hard as an alcoholic getting clean! Good job, girlee, sounds like you are working it hard.

I have a little trick I do, and my kids think it's so funny. I sometimes get the little 'Tofuti Cutie' things. They are an ice cream sandwich wanna be, made with soy. Normally I don't have soy in the house, but we get those once in a blue moon. I'll take a bite a day of one, so it lasts about 5 days. It's just a little yummy treat thing.

GOOD FOR YOU ditching the soda. I believe we women do ourselves in with carbonated drinks of any kind. They aren't allowed in the Shapovalov house at all, ever, no matter what. Beer? Oh, well of course! Ha ha ha.

And congrats on the two walks. Very cool. We did the gym thing yesterday morning and I watched a lot of 'The Longest Yard' while on the elliptical. Got all hot and sweaty.

Heh heh heh

Threw in this pic because I have a handsome hubby and because I'm often caught in this laughing my head off situation. This one was because my dress sort of... shifted.... and I was compromised briefly. I was also very full of little drink things that were served in abundance on the cruise. Hubby was patient, but not as amused as I was.
